Hi
Check if you have RichText ActiveX installed. You should have it on tools-option-controls ActiveX control list ("Microsoft Rich TextBox Control").
Add this control to VFP ActiveX controls., next try to put it on a form by choosing it from form controls toolbar. Run the form. If it works, you have luck and after replacing VFP6 FILETOSTR and STRTOFILE by another functions you have to got success. If not reinstall VFP5.
